My Project

My students are the best! However, our pencils and sharpeners are not. By having sharpened pencils on hand and a quality electric pencil sharpener, we will be able to spend more time learning and less time scrounging around for materials or worrying about using the wall sharpener that is not efficient. Moreover, the snacks, drinks, and candy will provide for a strong motivator to end the year when behaviors tend to ramp up and the end of school and start of summer countdown begin! Lastly, the clipboard with storage unit will ensure my own personal organization and stability with so much going on.

Over the course of the academic year, students have used up their supplies like pencils, erasers, and pencil sharpeners through regular use and wear and tear.

With the end of the school year approaching, there are less school events, field trips, and outdoor activities, leading to an increased need for snacks to keep students energized and engaged.

Thank you for your help!
